I just firgured you would be extra happy after being bikeless and all. Plus, everyone knows you on here and I thought you would have shared the news as soon as you got it.

I can't vote either way because I just recently got my 954 and have only had it out once. It's supposed to be cold tomorrow and I will probably ride a little. It came with brand new Dunlop Qualifiers, which seem to be twice as sticky as the Dunlop Sportmax's I have on the FZR, and seem to do pretty well after about 10 minutes warming up.

As I get more of a feel for the bike later in the spring and summer hopefully these tires won't present a problem. I won't be able to afford anything else until 2009. I did test ride another 954 in early October which had Metzeler M3's and it handled great.

I've been running Dunlops for motocross the past coupleyears and all has gone well. I just replaced my MX front with a Pirelli Scorpion, which got rave reviews from friends last year, so of course, very likely Pirelli will be on top of the list as well.

Iput a set of Qualifiers on the 54 yesterday. The bike had the factory Battleaxe that was manufactured in 2001! I will give a ride report once i get them scuffed in.
